On Wednesday we were invited over to the Duque Alfonso's (one of the guys that started the Linces in 1992) to watch one of the Semana Santa parades that was leaving on his street....
Toasting the salida from Iglesia San Bernardo - The Hermandad de San Bernardo was founded in 1763 and 1,900 Nazarenos march with the floats for 10 1/2 hours.
The Duke and his wife Alejandra had a very fancy spread of appetizers and wines so that we could watch the parade in style... everything from little cups of soup, tortillas (the Spanish kind), croquets, shrimp salad, red wines, different Spanish cheeses and coffee in super fancy china.
Me, Duke Alfonso, Corro and Brittany
El Cristo de la Salud (Christ of Health), 8th Century
People throwing rose petals from the balconies and rooftops onto the Virgin's float
Virgen del Refugio (Virgin of Refuge) 1938 
Facing off with my new 8-year old biffle Carlos
